Re: Converting Unix Jan 01 1970 UTC epoch datetime stamp to iSeries EST datetime stamp

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is this of interest?

"QUTCOFFSET                                                            
                                                                     
   Coordinated Universal Time Offset.  Specifies the difference in   
   hours and minutes between UTC, also known as Greenwich mean time, 
   and the current system time.                                       "

Can you add these hours and minutes to the date you receive?

I have the conversion from Unix to iSeries datetime stamp working but I can't figure out how to do the time zone adjustment. The time zone adjustment needs to be made based on the datetime stamp I am receiving not the current datetime that it is being processed.
